25、   I have a happy family. I live with my father, my mother, my brother and Teddy. Teddy cooks wonderful food, loves wine and, most importantly, describes me with the words “the best”. I can’t live without that.

My father likes cooking and that’s why we always have great food at home. So we don’t like to go to restaurants. He also likes to watch the TV news at least four times a day and knows all of the people who have ever appeared in new programs.

My mother laughs uncontrollably. She thinks stealing her purse is “a great international city experience”, because it could happen in any city in the world even if there was much money in the purse. Having a mother like her is a bit like having a sister. Perfect mothers are, of course, also experts in all fields, including medicine.

My brother decided to break the family tradition after several years as an airline pilot. He always tells me not to get discount (打折) tickets, but I think it is unfair. I should also say that he’s a great man, because he’s flying an airplane in the sky.

27、The Green Magic Tree House, in India, is the perfect hotel for anybody who likes adventure（冒险）. Guests must drive for miles through the jungle to find it in the middle of tea and coffeeplantation(种植园).

There are two tree houses to choose from, one 30 meters and the other 35 meters above the ground. Both houses have two floors. The bedrooms are above the living area and there are bathrooms and showers. You can get up to rooms and move between floors byusing ladders(梯子). You can go from one tree house to the other on a rope bridge. The houses sometimes move about in the wind but the views are fantastic.

Guests can enjoy moving through the jungle, climbing in the mountains, and watching wildlife. There are many unusual plants, birds, and insects in the area.

The Ice Hotel is in Jukkasjarvi, a village in Sweden 200 kilometers north of the Arctic（北极）Circle. Every winter, a team of architects（建筑师）, designers and snow builders build the hotel. This year there are 80 rooms.

Everything is made of ice. The walls, the floors, the ceilings（顶棚）, and even the furniture are made of ice. The beds are made of ice, too, but guests sleep on warm deer skins. Outside it can be -37℃, so inside it feels quite comfortable. The hotel has a bar, where guests can drink vodka（伏特加） from glasses made of ice. It's very popular — because there isn't much else to do.

To spend a night at Jules Underwater Lodge in Florida, guests need to scuba dive (潜水) seven meters under the sea. They enter a small house through a door at the bottom of the building. Inside, the kitchen is stored with food and there is a fridge and a microwave oven(微波炉). There is a hot shower and comfortable beds and lots of books, DVDs and video games.

28、A young painter completed a nice picture. To get people’s t【1】 about his skills, he put it at a crossing on a busy street. And below it a board read, “Gentlemen, I have painted this piece. S【2】 I’m new, I might make some mistakes in it. Please put a cross (叉号) wherever you see a mistake.”

When he came back in the evening to c【3】 his picture, he was shocked to see that the whole picture was filled with crosses. And some people e【4】 wrote something on his picture. Sadly, he ran to his master and said, “I failed. And if this is what I have learned, I’m not w【5】 teaching. ”

The master smiled and suggested, “I’ll let you know that you’re a great artist. Now go to paint the same picture again and give it to me. ”

Then they went to the same street the next morning and put the new picture exactly at the same place. Now the master took out another board w【6】 said, “Gentlemen, I painted this piece. There might be some mistakes in it. I have put a box with colors and brushes just below. Please give me a h【7】. If you see a mistake, pick up the brush and correct it.”

Two days later, they came back to the place. The young painter was s【8】 to see that actually there was not a single correction done!

It’s easy to say but difficult to do. If you want to help people i【9】 their behavior, you’d better learn how to help people change their attitudes (态度) or skills. Also, always remember not to judge (评判) y【10】 by someone else’s words and feel bad.
